We here at the Phoenix have been tracking the progress of Corin Tucker's first post-Sleater-Kinney solo album veryclosely. Now we have our first actual taste of 1,000 Years, her forthcoming Kill Rock Stars release. It's called "Riley" "Doubt," and while it's definitely not the return of Sleater-Kinney, it still succeeds on its own merits.

So the recent Sleater-Kinney reunion non-news left me excited enough to have possibly given short shrift to the real story here: Corin Tucker's return to making music after a long break. She announced on her Facebook page earlier this month that she is indeed recording a solo album and posted a bunch of pictured of her in the studio.
